Just curious where you norcal people went to have your rear gears changed? and how much you paid for it?(if you dont mind saying)

 

Rearend Specialties on Degulio st. in Santa Clara. People come from all over to have mike do their gear swaps. He usually gets it done pretty damn quick, same day. $500 or so.

 

The rearend shop in Riverbank does good work.

 

I've had a few gear swaps and 500 or so for just a gear change, and about 950 with a good locker with you will need if your gear selection is a different carrier number.

If you go to a different series of gears you'll need a new locker anyways. Chevy has 3 different series of carriers.

 

well i've got a locker in it already and i'm going with oem 4.10s(Z71s have optional 4.10s)

anyhow i got an email back from the rearendshop and they want $550 for the swap. which is better then i was gonna pay locally.

 

Guys is there any place in the L.a. area to changed rear gears ? like around Orange county ?

 

Lol just drive over to grippy's house and steal his 14bolt

 

It's not the OC but in Sun Valley, there's a place called Hooper's Rear Ends. You won't find a better rear end place in LA...at least I couldn't and I looked for one that's for damn sure. They do work for most race teams and drag teams down here and have been doing rear ends for 50+ years. They ain't no mom and pop shop and I paid $515 for mine just a week ago.

 

Hoopers has been around a LONG time DOIT

 

Well good morning sunshine! You finally get off your knees?

Look what I found for you!
